I agree. I just bought the app and it offers an inferior experience to icombinator from what I can see. This app doesn't have threading in the comments (you can't see who replied to what), it doesn't have the instapaper functionality, etc

I think the point is that they're still expanding (and hence hiring). See this paragraph: "Though Google is expanding into multiple areas such as operating systems, applications, online books and display advertising, more than 90 percent o

This seems disingenuous to me. First, on the 1984 scandel he cites, Amazon has apologized, sworn they will never do it again, refunded customers money and given customers new copies of the book. Give them a break already. On the "Gay-Rank

I don't fault him for his love of openness above all else. I like open systems too! But I don't think most consumers care. I certainly don't think they obsess over the couple thousand apps Apple's rejected (like we in tech do). They're

I wasn't sure at first (thought Apple might be taking the heat) but this seems to confirm AT&T's claim that it's Apple that has the problem with Google Voice and not AT&T.

This is a situation where numbers can mislead. Microsoft may very well be down 53% since Ballmer took over in January 2000 but do they mention that the Nasdaq, a tech industry bell weather, is down 50% overall for that same time period? (r

The whole point of the phrase FUD is that it's an emotional response. People use it to try to overwhelm someone's rational thought process with Fear. I think you SHOULD use past performance of a corporation as part of a rational thought pr

I'm not saying the patent system doesn't need repair but I don't think the problems are as broad as your example lays them out to be. Whenever someone tries to make such a broad patent it's almost always knocked down by the prior art claus

When I find someone disagrees with me I tend to either try to elaborate on my point or present a counter point to their argument. Not just quote what I've already said. You should try it

I have data. I want you to be able to use that data. I create a service so that you can INTERFACE with my data. Again, the reason "Information Architecture" has become a dirty word in most IT organizations is because of these little menta

This is maybe the muddyist thinking I've ever read. He tries to draw a distinction between SOA "Services" and REST "Resources" but it doesn't work because a "Resource" is just the end product of a "Service". So really he's just jumping th

I don't see this getting traction with Google entering the market and Microsoft finally getting it's act together with Windows 7 (which works very nicely on my 1000He). I'm not saying it looks bad. But using Linux requires a sacrifice from

I think that's the point he's trying to make. He's basically just saying "buzz words suck" and then riffing on the term Cloud Computing for a few minutes. It only seems contradictory because Techcrunch framed it as commentary on cloud com

He has more than you think. To give one example, Apple could include the FSF in the suit meaning whatever assets the FSF has could be put into jeapordy. I'm not saying that's right or fair and I'm not saying they'd even win but they could

I specifically called it slander which means I don't think it's true. That's what slander is.

This was inevitable. Apple's shown they'll go after people who tell the truth about them if Apple doesn't want a paticular truth told. So it was just a matter of time before they smacked Stallman down for slandering their OS.

One could just as easily equate high speed internet to Cable television. You don't get charged more for watching more. In the end it's somewhere in the middle. But the reality is that companies are making money now off unlimited access an

I mostly agree you and think I wouldn't trust this guy as the CTO of a lemon aide stand. I do think we'll start seeing limits on data transfer in the future though. Very high limits but limits none the less. It's sort of like Gmail. 99.9

Not really true. That indicates weather changes in certain areas but doesn't measure global weather changes which is what's called for when trying to assess the validity of man-made Global Warming. Isolated weather changes like the ones yo

But are we evolving? I look around and I see a lot of people saying "whew, we dodged a bullet" and then going right back to how they were living before. I'm one of the ones who is upset but it's not because we're returning to normal it's

The biggest flaw in his analysis is the fact that just about every other western nation is doing the same thing America is right now.

I think the article's correct but it's mistake is in ascribing motive to the lost dataset. The bottom line is that Global Warming traces its origins back to a study done on a dataset that is now incomplete. But the fact that there's only

See, this is a straw man argument. No one, and I mean no responsible person in government has argued for no action at all in my lifetime. We've had environmental regulations since people were afraid of Global Cooling. This has always b

You echo my thoughts on the issue. But what really bothers me is the logical outgrowth of that logic. What I mean is, as you said, most agree the planet is getting warmer. That's the actual problem here. But Global Warming advocates are s

I could be over simplifying but this theory doesn't seem to stand up to basic scrutiny. If Siegel's theory were true than people wouldn't die from lack of sleep. At least, not if they were given enough energy to sustain themselves without

Would have been nice if he posted something of substance rather than just nitpick. Does anyone know an actual reason why he didn't just work with the folks making pshb(other than the one BradF insinuates)?

Despite the author's claims to the contrary he's clearly biased (at least towards Apple's brand). He basically says he thinks every Ad that Microsoft has done sucks and every Ad that Apple has done is genius (which is a stretch on the most
